Smoked Rack Of Ribs (cut) Recipe

Preparation Instructions

1. 1

   Prepping the Ribs

   Begin by removing the membrane from the back of the pork ribs for better flavor absorption.

2. 2

   Applying the Rub

   In a bowl, mix olive oil, paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to create a rub. Rub this mixture generously over both sides of the ribs. Allow the ribs to marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight in the refrigerator.

3. 3

   Preparing the Smoker

   Soak the wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes before smoking. Prepare your smoker according to the manufacturer's instructions and preheat it to a temperature of 225°F (107°C).

4. 4

   Smoking the Ribs

   Once the smoker is preheated, add the soaked wood chips. Place the marinated ribs in the smoker, bone side down, and smoke for approximately 3 to 4 hours. Maintain a consistent temperature and add more wood chips as needed.

5. 5

   Finishing with Apple Cider Vinegar

   After the first 2 hours, start spraying or brushing the ribs with apple cider vinegar every 30 minutes to keep them moist and enhance flavor.

6. 6

   Checking for Doneness

   The ribs are done when they have pulled back from the bones, and a toothpick inserted into the meat goes in with little resistance. This usually takes about 3 to 4 hours.

7. 7

   Resting and Serving

   Once done, remove the ribs from the smoker and let them rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite barbecue sauce or enjoy them as is.
